"Anat Fort has a charming way of dispensing pastoralism and an insightful way of lining that pastoralism with depth", wrote Jim Macnie, in the Village Voice, adding that "her trio has the kind of poise that lets her move from terra firma to the stratosphere". In the Jewish Week, George Robinson observed that Fort "writes music that is a skillful mix of the romantic and the cerebral, like watching a flower open, an enthralling combination of geometry and color..." The Israeli pianist made a lot of friends with her widely-praised ECM debut "A Long Story" in 2007, and the new disc, with her regular working band, will make some more.
Delicate, slow stuff, and pretty darn Keith Jarrett-y - especially the childlike, folky quality - but there's something warm and luxuriant in Fort's minimalist approach. "Minnesota" feels like watching the sky open to a dawn visity, each moment registered with wonder; her second take on "Paul Motian" caught the soft-petal poetry of that journeying drummer well.
Paul de Barros, Downbeat
This is an intellectually satisfying yet emotionally charged CD, the sounds of which echo in the memory long after the disc has stopped spinning.
